Demons Within Update 14 PATREON release date!

Hey hey!

Whew, here we are! It's my pleasure to announce that the full release of Update 14 will be coming, as expected, on...

This Friday, February 6th!

I'm working hard on the sound and final details of the build, and I can't wait to release this! I do have to say, however, that due to the Spring Festival this month, I don't think that this Patreon release will come with the full Chinese translation just yet. I apologize for that, but although the last few...

Demons Within Update 14 BETA release date!

Hey hey!

Devlog time! Sort of! But most importantly, I've been working hard on Update 14 stuff and I finally feel confident enough to set the BETA release date to...

This Friday, January 30th!

Reminder that the beta version is a super early release for the highest level of Patreon to see the content while I'm still ironing this out!

Things are going pretty well in this update, but the major thing to note is the Ren'py version update. I had updated it e...

Sponsor an official Demons Within character outfit initiative! (Patreon only)

Hey hey!

I spoke briefly about this idea last month, ran a poll with you all to see what you thought, and the response to it was very positive. So, today, we're gonna start running the first attempt at making this work!

I gave this a lot of thought, and I think I figured out a way to handle it in a hopefully fair way. Let's get right to it!

What is it?

This will be a monthl...

Demons Within Update 14 devlog: Getting there...!

Hey hey!

I hope you all had good holidays and a good end of the year! I had a good time and now, it's past the time to update you all on what I've been doing and the status of things!

I'm happy to be able to report that the writing for Update 14 is already done and under review. Will be finalized very soon and with that, I'll move on to creating it all, as usual! That still takes me a while, but we're getting there. There are a whole bunch of new small assets this time to put into...

Demons Within Update 14 devlog: A party to remember!

Hey hey!

Apologies to you all! I wanted to write this last week but the week was busy and all and I just ended up not doing it. Well, I'm doing it now!

This is only the first devlog about Update 14. I feel like I should've made another one earlier as, right now, Update 14 is like... 70% written. At least for the amount planned. That's pretty good progress! Things usually don't take THAT long after the writing is done.

After Update 13, as you all know 'cuz I posted a few upd...

Question to Supporters: Would you be interested in "commissioning" an outfit for a Demons Within character to be added to the game?

Hey hey!

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week! This is a bit of a weird post, but let me try to explain it.

A few weeks ago, Blain and I were talking about the bulk of the artwork that goes into the game, and I had a bit of a weird idea. Today I want to run this idea by you all to see what you guys think and gauge who, if anyone at all, would be interested in it.

All of you know that we've had a bunch of different 2025-11-17 17:49:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Special Project previews: Demon "Shard" Slots

Hey hey!

It's been quite a while since I've had time to work on and talk about the special extra project. So much so, that some people that have joined Patreon recently might not even be aware of its existence, but you can read more about it in the initial post about it if you don't know what we're talking about!

With the regular updates hanging over my head and the collaboration with Shelter demanding...

Demons Within Update 13 PATREON release date!

Hey hey!

Quick post today!

Been working hard on the last improvements and sound of Update 13 and, though it's not fully done yet, it's getting there! It's close enough that I feel confident I can announce the release date of it to be...

This Friday, October 31st!

It'll be a Halloween treat!

I'm also happy to be able to say that, once again, we'll be able to launch the update with full Chinese support as well! Big thanks to Heyeah and his team for...

Demons Within Update 13 BETA release date!

Hey hey!

I'm here today again to give you all a tiny kinda-sorta devlog and, most importantly, finally announce the BETA release of Update 13!

First things first! I feel confident enough to announce the beta on...

Next Wednesday, October 22nd!

I still have a million small details to iron out in the update and a few major pieces of the script that aren't completely done, but things are done enough that I'm confident I can finish it by Wednesday! A beta ...

Demons Within Original Backgrounds: Abandoned Alley

Hey hey!

With Update 13 coming around the corner, I realized that I had actually forgotten to share this new original background! Though this isn't the most important background of all, it is heavily seen in Update 12 and will continue to be for a good chunk of Update 13. In our initiative to create new and original backgrounds, we thought it'd be good to make sure the new ones ship originally instead of with placeholders as well!

As usual, Teo did an incredible job on th...

Demons Within MERCH tests!

Hey hey!

I wanted to bring something (possibly) exciting today! Alongside everything else, I've been looking into the possibilities of offering some cool Demons Within-themed merch. Well, we've made some very simple designs, and I ordered some test samples for myself to see how they work and make sure that their quality is good enough.

I'm pleased to say (and show above) that I'm pretty satisfied with how things look! We tried a few different shirt designs and types. There are dif...

Demons Within sprite previews: Open shirt Garret

Hey hey!

Quick preview today of what I mentioned I could show in the recent devlog. A new quite simple but yet somewhat meaningful variation of Captain Garret's casual clothing. Blain did an amazing job at it, as usual!

There are a whole bunch of small new sprite variations, but I'm very sad to say that most of them are big spoilers! As I mentioned, don't worry. I'll post them all here, but for the sake of giving everyone the best experience, I'll do it slightly after the post of ...

Demons Within Update 13 devlog: A little more time, a lot more stuff!

Hey hey!

It's due time for another devlog so I can tell you all about how things are going in Update 13!

The development cycle is going a little differently this time. Usually, I finish writing everything first before even starting to code. However, since the update has different parts of content to cover and the development as a whole got a little messy with the collaboration in between, this time I haven't quite finished writing everything just yet (almost), yet I'm alr...

Demons Within Update 12 is now OUT for the public!

Hey hey!

It's my pleasure to release update 12 of Demons Within to the public today! You can download and play it right NOW on Itch.io!

Although usually we've been releasing the previous update to the public only when a new one comes out on Patreon, this time it's out a little early. Update 13 is still cooking and somewhat close to release, but not quite there yet. Soon, though! However, since the second ...

Patreon suggestions, ideas, and opinions

Hey hey!

I hope everyone is having a good start to the week! This is a post I've been thinking about doing for quite a while. I'm quite busy with Update 13 work right now to make any big changes most likely, but after the update releases, I have time to think and breathe, so I thought I'd get this out now so people have time to think and discuss, and we can see if anything comes out of it.

I've thought about it a while ago when comparing my Patreon to Shelter's Patreon. Raus and I...

Demons Within Original Backgrounds: Resnick and Edwin's Bedroom

Hey hey!

It's my great pleasure to present you all with an early preview of another original background! This time it's Resnick and Edwin's bedroom!

Although we've been focusing a little on upcoming backgrounds to make sure the new ones are original as well, we finally got time to start reworking some of the old ones as well. We're trying to make sure we get some of the backgrounds that are seen the most and/or represent important locations, and none fit the bill better than the ...

Demons Within Update 13 devlog: The ACTUAL Update 13 content and development

Hey hey!

It's been a while since we had a devlog! Since I took a bit of a detour to finish up and release the collaboration, the last one or two devlogs covered mostly that. There was a LOT of work in getting that off the ground, but from now on, the collaboration shouldn't take so much time from either me nor Raus, as we have everything prepared to just insert new content of the story as it gets created. Save, of course, for a small fix or improvement here or there, but that's only nat...

Demons Within sprite previews: Majestic Horn Thugs drafts

Hey hey!

Another small preview today as things continue to advance! I'm working hard on Update 13 stuff (devlog on that soon!) and, in the meantime, Blain has been working on some other things to make the game retroactively more awesome!

I had already shown the initial concept of these boys, Dan and Jude, who are Gunther's 'goons' when we first meet the big bull and his mercenary group. In the effort to make simpler, quicker sprites, we're making those boys now!

As always, B...

New Discord sticker!

Hey hey!

Quick post today! Blain and I completed this one at the end of last week, but I was so busy with the collaboration stuff that I hadn't had time to sit down and add it properly!

Jen is not the most prominent character, but she still has... a lot going on for her. We thought it'd be fun and fitting to create a sticker like this that gives, well... you can tell the vibes it gives from it, yeah? ;)

Blain did an incredible job with it, as always! This sticker is availabl...

Poll Result: Swimsuit Edwin + Extra special bonus

Hey hey!

I'm sure most of you remember our most recent swimsuit poll, right? Well, while I was very busy working on the collaboration stuff, Blain has delivered! You all have voted and chosen and therefore... here it is! Modern swimsuit variation Edwin! He wasn't as hard to dress up as some of the previous contenders as his brash personality gave us a very clear idea of what he'd wear! I hope you all will en...

Special A Demon Within Shelter release promotions for Patreon supporters!

Hey hey!

The brand new collaboration between Shelter and Demons Within, A Demon Within Shelter, has JUST released on both Patreons! Though this initial release is Patreon-only, as it is also tied to the current Patreon-only versions of both games, it will be available to everyone as soon as the latest versions of both games also become public. In the meantime, we’re holding two special offers that are valid for both Shelter and Demons Within’s Patreons in order to make it easier for...

A Demon Within Shelter - First Release! ( + 中文 ! )

Hey hey!

Finally, we're proud to present to you the first three installments of our crossover story with Demons Within, featuring our two beloved wolves getting isekaied acros the FVNverse!

You have one prologue playable within Shelter build and one in Demons Within. You're free to play them in any order, and after that you have to follow the story by unlocking the chapters one after another between the two games (as new chapters get released).

On the PC build, those ...

Demons Within sprite previews: Majestic Horns thugs draft

Hey hey!

Continuing our effort to bring 'minor' characters to life as well in a simpler, quicker way, here are the next candidates! And this time, there are two of them. I like to call them Gunther's 'goons'. That word is getting a different meaning nowadays, but depending on how you look at it, it works! So be it.

We've 'seen' plenty of them in the story so far and though they are not slated to appear in the game much more often, you still never know! So far, as you can see, they...

A Demon Within Shelter release date announcement!

Hey hey!

It's a pleasure for us to finally announce that the release date of A Demon Within Shelter, the special collaboration side story between Shelter and Demons Within, will be released on Patreon on...

next Friday, August 22nd!

This release will happen simultaneously between Shelter and Demons Within! As specified before and explained in the promo image, you will need to progress through this story on BOTH games to progress!

On release, we'll have...

Demons Within devlog: The Essence Wheel rework and previews

Hey hey!

Whew! It's been quite some busy weeks! I've been meaning to write this post, along with a few others that I have in mind, last week, but didn't manage to get time to sit down and write it properly. I also wanted to really show what I've been working on, but hadn't found the best way to do it. I made a video, but Patreon doesn't allow NSFW creators to post videos anymore, so... well, I found a way. We'll get to that soon!

We all know the essence wheel that you see...

Sprite previews: Cloaked Alon

Hey hey!

Quick previews today! As I mentioned in yesterday's devlog, the A Demon Within Shelter crossover is releasing soon and with two whole chapters on the Demons Within (therefore, Alon's!) side. As such, we had a few extra little assets made as Alon's little adventure continues!

It seems that he has acquired a cloak around town! He sure looks like someone else when wearing it. Very mysterious and appropriate for him!

Stay tuned for more news of A Demon Within Shelter co...

Demons Within Update 13(?) devlog: Something different coming soon!

Hey hey!

Alright, it's devlog time! In fact, it's past devlog time already! I've been wanting to sit down and write up what I've been doing for you guys for a while, and it's finally time to get that done.

I've written the first devlog about Update 13, telling you all a bit about what's going to be in there and all that. Not enough, I reckon, but I was still figuring it out! I have a chunk of Update 13 written down and everything planned by now, and I was working on it for quite a...

Demons Within postviews: Gunther's New Variations

Hey hey!

Here's a little something I wanted to showcase before the previous build, but in the end I thought best not because, well... It'd be major spoilers! I think it would take away from the fun of the build. Now that it's been out (on Patreon) for a while, I want to go back and properly show all the fun new variations of sprites we got for Update 12. :)

Gunther's new cloak was designed to be similar to a certain someone's. In many ways, they are similar, so Resnick's confusion...

Demons Within IN-season SWIMSUIT poll 3!

Hey hey!

Yup! You know how this works by now, yeah? It's the swimsuit poll again!

We've had it once, then we had it twice, and now for the third time... It's time to choose who gets a modern, non-canonical swimsuit alternative for their in-game sprite!

Same stuff as previous times applies. The winners of the previous ...
